Great Books Week and the NAIWE Blog Tour

In honor of Great Books Week, a holiday that is celebrated annually the first full week in October, the National Association of Independent Writers and Editors (NAIWE) is hosting a Blog Tour with a specific daily topic Monday through Friday. The Association is a major sponsor of this event.

If you’d like to participate, write a post on your own blog on the appropriate topic each day, then visit the appropriate post on the NAIWE blog to leave your post title and link in the comment section so that others can enjoy what you’ve written. Be sure to share your posts in Facebook, Twitter, and other social media! More details can be found on the Great Books Week website.

In support, I encourage you to craft your responses to the topics below every day. Then take a moment share them at Great Books Week site.

NAIWE also invites you to make a small donation to a highly rated charity, First Book in honor of Great Books Week. It provides needy children with books to keep and cherish. You can give a donation at the GBW web page.
